A lot of people ask me how we made the movie. Well, it all started with a simple idea and I decided to share with you some behind-the scenes footage in this making-of video : ruclips.net/video/gJW3uCl5_zY/видео.html I hope the beautiful pictures and the wisdom from David Lynch inspire you to create something amazing 🖤
It's almost identical to Jesse painting the wooden box in Breaking Bad. A person imagines himself doing something happy and then realizes that he is not that happy after all.
This is so normal. Because this short film copied a scene from the TV series Breaking Bad. While it is meaningful for the series, it loses some of its meaning for an ordinary viewer. @@ri-cinemas5140
I think both had some specisl moments. The scene of the smoke & touching thevtipvof his fingers is the main idea. Stress? Pain? Or the creativity of the cook. Both had some funny moment! Well done. Z.
I loved reading the comments because they took this to mean The Cook has gotten addicted to drugs, and lost hope for his career. But, the way I saw it, The Cook is imagining a possibility for himself, especially when the music plays at the end and he looks at his hands in awe. It’s like a new inspiration has struck. I don’t think he was a cook before, I think the idea that he could be a cook just began.
That's exactly what I took. There is power in his hands. He is imagining the possibility o something more, being a cook. He can use his hands for creating other things besides rolling up weed.
Your short film reminded me of this quote: "I was gifted, am gifted. Sometimes I looked at my hands and realized that I could have been a great pianist or something. But what have my hands done? Scratched my balls, written checks, tied shoes, pushed toilet levers, etc. I have wasted my hands. And my mind". Charles Bukowski I really enjoyed it. Good luck🤍💐
For those asking (***disclaimer - if you haven’t watched, watch first, it’s under 3 minutes and it’s well worth it). There are no words as the film does not need words. But I will put my words below to assist only those who have watched and are saying they are still unsure of what it means: It is a linear sequence that takes place only in the mind of an addict until we see him in his actual life. He imagines classical music, an elaborate gourmet kitchen, the use of his hands, which he regards with awe and respect, as he plans his culinary masterpieces and begins to create a masterpiece in his imagined magnificent kitchen. When finished he takes his creation on a serving plate to himself as a patron who is waiting for the great dish designed and delivered to himself by himself - the great chef. Without judgment he serves himself a rolled joint on a serving plate and as himself as the chef, he lights it for himself as the patron to smoke. He is the sole special guest in the restaurant. The joint on the serving plate is surrounded by a bit of floral and herbal garnishment and one lone grape. The joint represents the destitute meagerness of what he offers himself in his present life. The garnishment represents that something more is possible. He had started the sequence in his imagination with only the little he would know about creating a food masterpiece. He washes a few grapes and chops some herbs. His focus is on his hands and what he can do to use his hands in ways that are far beyond the life he actually lives. His face becomes dark and his expression changes when he returns to his present empty world, he has only a toilet and a sink and the joint he lit. Everything becomes quiet after he blew smoke from his mouth in the restaurant, closing his eyes before he returns to his real life. The smoke, like magical dust, awakens him back to the life he is living. With his eyes open to his bleak life, he stares straight ahead as if he is looking into the future. Soon the beautiful music begins again. His expression changes to one of excitement and anticipation of something beyond his sparse existence. He stretches his hands out, moving his fingers as he did when he imagined himself as a chef. A small grin begins to form on his face. With awakening passion he has imagined his future life.

And if literature, art and film didn’t require study and explanation, why do we study it including at the upper echelons of education and film schools?

You’re better suited for the former and not the latter.
mmmmm it does fit 🤔.... but i think he is just extremely High... 🤣🤣 he can't believe he made such a good joint (must be one of those many combo-strain made of hybrids ) with his hands .... he must be a chef!! ... 😆😅🤣😂😁
It's almost identical to Jesse painting the wooden box in Breaking Bad. A person imagines himself doing something happy and then realizes that he is not that happy after all.
The gap between what is and what could have been - beautifully tied together and absolutely devastating. 🤯 in just 3 min. Fantastic job to the filmmaker and his team. Bravo!!
Wow ! Thank you all so much for the likes, comments and discussions ! I'm so happy and humbled that such a short film can reach so many people. Filmmaking is a beautiful thing and I'm glad I get to share my work and passion here. Special thanks to the cast and crew of the film and best of luck to all of you out there working on new projects :)
The cinematography in the short film is top-notch, with every shot delivering a hidden message. The sound design is perfect, with music that fits the film and sound effects that are spot-on. Although there is no dialogue, the narrative and storytelling are brilliantly conveyed. The video uses metaphors to illustrate the story of a "Chef" who ruins his potential by becoming addicted to drugs. In conclusion, the short film serves as a reminder to stay focused on our dreams and passions and to avoid things that can ruin our lives. Our future is determined by what we do today, and it reflects on our success tomorrow. Mark Jim G. Lobitaña (For educational purpose only)
the last two shots are so powerful my interpretation is that the scene where someone lights his cigarette and candles are all around him is how he is treated for his talent and art and the scene at the end is how he feels with no one around, there's one candle behind him representing loneliness and his desperate face, the first shot also has many candles which also could mean when the spotlight is on him, either way such a powerful message and to tell it visually is strong! great job
I interpreted it as a way to showcase him realizing what he did. Its often portrayed in movies that villains that went to far look at their hands, trying to grasp what they just did. iykwim@@williamshakespeare9815
Outstanding shortfilm, sound design and cinematography are a gaze to watch. I love the fact that there is no dialogue. Although the message and the ending are opened to interpretation, i see a man realizing his own power, to be a master in cooking e taking the wheel of his destiny. Well done.
yes but at the same time he´s not doing anything of cooking, or practicing his skills.. he´s just smoking in the toilet... for me is more how the fantasy plays on the guy's mind
I entered my first ever Indie Film Music Competition with this film. I got a totally different feel from it than the majority of people who commented below (I am, however, autistic, so I tend to view things more at face value), in fact, my music turned out to be more like the music used in the 'making of' film ^^^. I did, however, find it extremely provocative and inspiring to write to. Loved the film and it well deserved the accolade.
My interpretation is in the end in his drug induced vision he saw what he could have been and felt motivated. Before he didn't think it was possible for him to be something but this time he feels like it's possible. Thank you so much sweet lord and the creators.
Regardless that he seemingly smokes, he never forgets his dream. His thoughts cooked in his psychy long enough, right up to this present moment. He knows exactly where he is going. He knows it's time for action. The film is crystal clear. He is the cook. He chose both.
really amazing work, I loved the cinematography and pacing of the film. The score felt extremely fitting and you had my interest until the end. Way to go.
Hey, Vincent. I know it's been a while. I've just come across this short, but wholesome piece of art. At first I was like, what's this about? But after watching it over and over..damn it's just awesome, simply put. I'm inspired.
I see grief in his eyes and he sees potential in his hands, the director brilliantly let us off on a cliffhanger, now the story is ours. Whether we go after the potential we see in us Or remain stuck with grief of the lost greatness of the past, it's our choice, we get to choose whether it's the beginning or the end.
It's supposed to stand for how he should have pursued being a chef instead of wasting time smoking weed all day. Chase your dreams, don't dream your chases. 😉
i dnt usually comment under youtube videos but this one stole the show. i love the cinematography, the sound, the plot, the colours, the shots. everything is so perfect. and the plot did make me laugh!! love it!
Every addiction was once an event, a moment of pleasure. You used to prepair for it, to organize ir, to cook it carefully, to see the details… When a “moment of pleasure” becomes frequent, we stop seeing the beauty or feeling that pleasure.
Analyzing a short-film is like being captured into a world of cinematography where certain events happen at a span of time. The cook is an award-winning film which revolves around the chef who lost his passion in life and got negativities in life. In this analysis, there will be a discussion and an in-depth analysis of the short-film, as well as essential elements defining the parts of the story. Cinematography: The camera angles are mostly focused on the subject. It uses a portrait element of videography which encapsulates the face of the actor. On framing, rule of thirds is well-applied and symmetry of spaces are shown on the film. Lighting has a dark background and light foreground which allows for a dramatic effect and a more emphasis on the character. Its visual style uses a dark tone filter which lets the viewer know it is an emotional film. Sound: Dialogue is muted like a pantomime but its message is clear which is to follow your dreams and avoid vices. Music is in a form of orchestral style which allows for a suspense theme and sound effects are mixed with the music which results it cannot be heard. Narrative Structure: Plot development is good since it has a sequence, from being successful up until no goals in life. Its pacing is fast since the video is just about 3 mins long, however, the reasons were not emphasized why the protagonist lost hope in life. And storytelling techniques are 100% because based on the setting and costumes of the character, it is observed that it is done in the kitchen, therefore he was a chef. But later on, he lost hope in life, attended vices and went down the wrong path. Symbolism: Recurring symbols or metaphors like the food tray symbolizes that a chef is meticulous and careful in cooking food and its preparation. It shows the detailed process in making a food, just like in life, achieving something is a step-by-step process. The food tray is shining which symbolizes the caring chef who does not let anything go beyond perfection, everything is clean and well-planned. Despite the plan and everything that came up, there are things that you cannot handle like losing hope in life, being not happy with the things you used to do, losing your passion, and negativities in life. This is symbolized by the cigarette. Another meaning of the cigarette is when we stick to our vices, we somehow lose our will to live. Once we become addicted to it, our world will revolve around it which lets us go down the wrong path. In conclusion, the short-film has a message for us to follow our dreams and passions in life for us to be happy. The ending shows that despite our negativities in life, we can still start again because the end of life is not near once we do something we love. There is no age requirement in doing your passion again, there is no right or wrong place to achieve it, the best way to do it is now. So do what you want and be happy, and you can do it once you put your heart and mind into it. JASPER MENDEZ (For educational purposes only.)
Just because you have 50 more years of lifespan remaining doesn't mean you can comeback and start over again. People who messed with drugs usually damage their brain and there is nothing much to do after that. Hope is a good thing but reality is another monster.
bravo bravo !!!! loved it , every little detail , camara work , lighting , editing , script , idea , actor , all of it and very visually artistic also , make more , make more please ,
You know you have achieved something special with a short film when people are not only commenting on the technical side of things, but also debating the meaning.
This is very clever, the idea of mastering the art of rolling a joint lmao! from the cutting of leaves (grinding) to observing the rolling paper, and ofc the bowl as an ash tray. He finds his passion while high. Takes the phrase “cooked” to another level is chefs kiss 💀 Also could be when you’re high, starving, and all of sudden you become good at cooking and the food hits different😭 don’t ask me how I know this
Gasp! I know this song from ANYWHERE!! La Moldau, (meaning The River) by Bohemian composer Bedřich Smetana. 😍😍😍 so glad to hear good music with a visual!
Ahh, the Russian milanga! (Gunshots @2:00) was my fave, but this superior. I think he gets that "Rocky" theme inspiration trope in there immediately prior to the knock. m.ruclips.net/video/FBRNGxP0s7c/видео.html
MY POV: the character dreams of being a fantastic refined chef, however is addiction to weed turns him into a lonely sad person stuck in his own cycles and depression, it kills the drive and ambition. You can see in his journey, all of that preparation, time he dreamt to have spent in the kitchen crafting his art, preparing an astonishing dish, was actually spent rolling weed and serving it to himself. At end when he looks at his hands, his fingers are crooked, but not from using kitchen utensils. He looks absolutely miserable realising how much potential he would have had he focused on his dreams instead of weed. Is a beautiful metaphor for the dangers of weed addiction. I’ll finish with a sprinkle of hope. The knock on the door might just be his wake up call :)
Lmao what I thought was he was making a cannabis dish, so sad that he fcked up , weed is not addictive, get your facts right, the only thing that can make you suffer from cold turkey is heroine and that can be solved as well. ❤

feel like its just him getting hungry after smoking and hes too blazed to cook something up😄

brilliant, just brilliant! very much Inspired
bravo bravo !!!! loved it , every little detail , camara work , lighting , editing , script , idea , actor , all of it and very visually artistic also , make more , make more please ,
I love the subtle lighting work. Tasteful!
You know you have achieved something special with a short film when people are not only commenting on the technical side of things, but also debating the meaning.
The film takes you on a journey through the chef's emotions, creativity, and the magic that can be found in even the simplest of ingredients.
This is very clever, the idea of mastering the art of rolling a joint lmao! from the cutting of leaves (grinding) to observing the rolling paper, and ofc the bowl as an ash tray. He finds his passion while high. Takes the phrase “cooked” to another level is chefs kiss 💀 Also could be when you’re high, starving, and all of sudden you become good at cooking and the food hits different😭 don’t ask me how I know this
Ahhhhhhhh! Yes! Thanks! I get it now!
Bravo! Greatness!💖
Dessert! Oh, snack? Yum!!! Much needed in a super stressful industry.
As soon as I saw the dank being chopped up I knew it would take a turn😂
😂 I was watching him prep like “why’s that look so much like weed” 😅😅
Inspirational story with so much depth and a lot of inferences. Thanks for giving us this experience.
Fantastic execution and really engrossing!
is this a film about recognizing your life's potential? or just getting the munchies... the world may never know...
He probably smoked too much weed to figure out his life potential
that was so good WHAT!!!???
unpredictable, strong end!
I see this litterraly one second lately became stoned, this is gold.
Deservely awarded!

ஒரு சினிமா உலகில் இப்படியும் கதைக்களம் அருமை தான்
Wow loved everything the plot the angles basically everything bravo!
Oh Thank you so much.
Amazing 👑
Gasp! I know this song from ANYWHERE!! La Moldau, (meaning The River) by Bohemian composer Bedřich Smetana. 😍😍😍 so glad to hear good music with a visual!
Somebody had to write, star in, direct, and finish a high school project in a single day.
I'm in the can watching this with a blunt.!. ✊🏿
仰々しく調理している場面からのタバコが出てきた時、笑ってしまった😂
Incredible job. Im amazed.
That was incredible, simply referred to as the wake-up knock.
😊
Thank you ! Yes, it could have been the subtitle of the movie :)
yes it should be

Ahh, the Russian milanga!
(Gunshots @2:00)
was my fave, but this superior. I think he gets that "Rocky" theme inspiration trope in there immediately prior to the knock.

Brilliant amazing visuals. I was hooked the entire time. Excellent work!
Inspired 🔥🔥🔥🔥
MY POV: the character dreams of being a fantastic refined chef, however is addiction to weed turns him into a lonely sad person stuck in his own cycles and depression, it kills the drive and ambition.
You can see in his journey, all of that preparation, time he dreamt to have spent in the kitchen crafting his art, preparing an astonishing dish, was actually spent rolling weed and serving it to himself.
At end when he looks at his hands, his fingers are crooked, but not from using kitchen utensils.
He looks absolutely miserable realising how much potential he would have had he focused on his dreams instead of weed.
Is a beautiful metaphor for the dangers of weed addiction.
I’ll finish with a sprinkle of hope. The knock on the door might just be his wake up call :)
Lmao what I thought was he was making a cannabis dish, so sad that he fcked up , weed is not addictive, get your facts right, the only thing that can make you suffer from cold turkey is heroine and that can be solved as well. ❤
wow! What an amazing plot twist and directing!
Wow...very well executed Vincent...you have a flair and eye which take you a long way...more power to you brother
OK, this is just a masterpiece no matter which way you cut it. Beautifully shot. Great story nice and short tight edit it’s got everything.✒️🎥🇫🇷10/10
